Some 'Around the NFL' stuff

Saw that an old opponent of ours, Jahri Evans, is set to retire. Evans played a while for the Saints before moving to the Packers.  I remember back when the Saints had Evans and Carl Nicks (later Ben Grubbs).  They had some really solid OL combinations but couldn't keep them together for all that long.

In other 'old friend' news, it's looking like the Colts are going to go from hiring the OC from the Super Bowl loser to the one from the Super Bowl winner.  They're said by several analysts to be targeting Philly OC (and inaugural Panthers QB) Frank Reich.  If that happens, the Eagles will be losing both their QB Coach (DeFilippo is now the Vikes OC) and their OC.  Mike Shula and Ken Dorsey are available of course, but speculation is that the Eagles go in a different direction.

And apparently coach firing season isn't over yet.  The Buccaneers reportedly just fired their defensive line coach (a guy who was coaching at Notre Dame when Lake Dawson was there, oddly enough).  Gotta wonder if they'll give our old friend Brentson Buckner a call.

Where did you see the Jahri Evans news? Can't find that anywhere. Always interested when probable hall of famers retire.

How is it Panthers seem to have high in demand people a la McD, Beane...yet also people like Shula, Hurney who will never qualify to do what they do for any other team. Just seems the wrong people get promoted while others only get promoted when they move teams.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
